“

Don't be afraid to take intellectual risks. Ask hard questions and challenge yourself. That applies to your research, your educational decisions or even your networking... Ask informed questions. Don't be afraid to look silly because your ideas are different or seem far-fetched to others.

— Associate Professor Jonathan Benjamin.
